Question

In a 19th-century folk saying, this mythological figure is said to “sow his oats” or “herd his goats” (10[3])when heat shimmers (10[1])are visible in the spring. This figure’s name is likely derived from his association with knots and tangles. (10[3]-5[1])This (-5[1])figure adds the cursed ring Andvaranaut (10[1])to a (-5[1])wergild (“VAIR-gild”) for Ótr. (10[2])After stealing (-5[1])one object possibly called the “singing stone,” this god fights (10[1])a golden-toothed god (10[1])in the form of a seal. (10[8]-5[2])In a namesake poem, (10[1])this god accuses (10[1]-5[1])Sif (10[1]-5[1])of adultery (-5[1])during a long sequence (10[1])of (10[2])insults (10[3]-5[1])directed towards (10[1])the other gods. (10[5])After (10[2])losing a bet (10[1])for his head, (10[1])this god claims (10[1])that he never (10[1])offered any part of his neck (10[2])and has his mouth sewn shut instead. (10[1])This god commissions the sons of Ivaldi to replace (10[1])Sif’s golden hair, which he cut off as a prank. For 10 points, (10[1])name this Norse trickster god. (10[2])■END■ (10[7])
